Description

Ebon Tower Interior #6 – Hammerfell Mission / Storage tower

Medium-sized interior.

The embassy of Hammerfell province in Morrowind. Houses the ambassador(s) and their bodyguards. The lowest part of the tower shouldn’t be used by the embassy, but instead be a storage space for supplies of the Imperial guard.

-Named the interior cell 'TR_Ebon Tower Interior #6'; I note this as I'm still not entirely confident with the new naming scheme employed for TR interiors, so if there are any issues I would appreciate it if someone pointed them out .

-Completed the shell for the claim; Claim consists of five levels, with the 1st and 2nd being size 3x3 , the 3rd level size 3x2 , the 4th level being size 2x2, and the final level merely being the endcap for the spiral staircase and point of access to the roof (the spiral staircase is excluded from the size measurements for clarity).

-Furniture is a mix of imperial rm_ and r_ objects.

-The 1st floor is the storage area for supplies of the Imperial guard, the 2nd floor contains the quarters and living area of the three bodyguards, the 3rd floor serves as the ambassador's living quarters and meeting room, and the 4th floor serves no particular role beyond being a nondescript hallway/walkway.

-Major object placement and detailing has been done for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors, with only some more detailing required for the aforementioned floors. The 1st floor is yet to have any objects placed in it aside from a single container, and will be significantly more cluttered and detailed by the next update.

-Cleaned the file and remove irrelevant dependencies.

-Ticked 'Illegal to sleep here".

PS: I wanted there to be have been more progress by this update, but making the interior shell match the exterior proved to be surprisingly time-consuming and tedious, with certain outstanding issues with it remaining for lack of a better solution on my end (particularly with respect to working the spiral staircase into the interior while still having the doors match the exterior, causing the interior shell to not match the exterior as accurately as would be ideal; Attempted alternative arrangements thus far have only caused worse issues, hence the current arrangement remaining for the time being).

-Cluttered and completed major object placement for the 1st & 2nd floor, as well as doing some minor detailing to the 3rd floor and adding the trapdoor to the roof on the 5th floor.

-Added door frames to the entrances of the rooms for the guards on the 3rd floor.

-Fixed some minor bleeders and floaters on the 2nd & 3rd floors.

All that remains to be done in the claim is some further minor detailing throughout the interior (particularly in the storage area, as the current setup is still a little rough at the moment), adding the windows to the 4th floor, doors to the 3rd floor and finalising the light settings for the interior.

Firstly, apologies for missing the deadline for updating (which was more than a month back); I've been dealing with an immense workload recently that impeded my ability to complete the finishing touches to the claim.

Update Overview

-Fixed some errant bleeders and floaters scattered throughout the claim.

-Set the Northmarker.

-Changed the 4th floor to be 3x2 from it's previous 2x2 size in order to make it better fit the exterior (though again, the interior doesn't fit it perfectly, but I'm constrained in my ability to deal with it due to a combination of the stairs and the doors simply making it impossible, as far as I can see anyway).

-Added lights throughout the interior, and copied in lighting settings from a Ebonheart castle interior.

-Significantly cluttered the 2nd floor, and did some minor adjustments to the clutter in the 3rd floor.

-Added a lock to the storage area door, and to one of the containers in there.

-Fixed the doors leading outside such that they properly match their exterior counterparts (some were rotated the wrong way).

-Changed the trapdoor leading to the roof to the one which has both the ladder and the trapdoor.

-The cell name is 'TR_Ebon Tower Interior #6'

Submitting claim for review.

Some benches (I suppose it's the lobby for the embassy), a rug or two, some crates/barrels waiting to be taken down to the basement, maybe a broom and bucket in the corner? Seems like it would be a shared transit for the Legion and the embassy, so it should probably stay relatively open. Some benches

Looking this over again, it could perhaps use more Redguard clutter in general. Things like the Hookah items (under the Misc Item and Apparatus tabs) and the Redguard-specific clothing. It could also use more Redguard theme books like "Divad The Singer," "Djulighana's Role," and "The Divadamakalluh."
